Denzel Washington, Jared Leto, and Rami Malek in The Little Things (2021)
Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon (Washington) is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence-gathering assignment. Instead, he becomes embroiled in the search for a killer who is terrorizing the city. Leading the hunt, L.A. Sheriff Department Sergeant Jim Baxter (Malek), impressed with Deke’s cop instincts, unofficially engages his help. But as they track the killer, Baxter is unaware that the investigation is dredging up echoes of Deke’s past, uncovering disturbing secrets that could threaten more than his case.

    • Trivia
      Denzel Washington's daughter Olivia Washington plays a role in the movie, her first appearance in a film starring her father, but the pair only have a brief onscreen exchange at the start of the film in a police station.
    • Goofs
      When checking the mileage on the suspect's 1970 Chevrolet Nova, it showed a 6-digit odometer to better explain the high mileage theory. However, all Novas made between 1969-1974 with the 120 mph dash board had 5-digit odometers. This fact was checked with GM.

    I liked it because it's different

    It's a slow burning film, great acting, Jared Leto looked really creepy, Focuses on the drama rather than the flash which I prefer. People always complain about the same old movie formula and when something comes along different they complain about that too! It is a decent film, no cliches, good to see Malek in a big film role and Washington is always great to watch.
